Absolutely. I had the privilege of listening to Theo give a talk at CanSec West 2000. Of course, he knocked Linux a lot (but had the highest praise for OpenBSD, of course). It was still very informative... and I can't say I disagree with him.Hmmm... well, yes. Neurotic did come to mind, but I'm trying to be nice. =) Actually, I really appreciate all that Theo has done, despite his idiosyncracies(sp?).I have the highest of admirations for Theo as a coder, even if I can't stand the personality he carries, at least on most of his email (never had the opportunity to meet him in person).
Bah. You can point fingers at them when they're running around trying to patch bind and you're doing more productive things. Zealotry gets you nowhere.Sure... you can do anything you want with it once you've downloaded the source. He's not going to dictate how you use it on your own machine. It's just how to pass it on to others if in a pre-compiled format. I respect that... makes his job (or the community's job) of support so much easier.Well, yes, that's true :) Tho I proly won't live it down with the other geeks here at the LUG if they notice I have that thing installed...bunch of FSF manics make RMS look conservative :)
No... I suspect you would have laid in bed all night just itching over it if you hadn't written something... =)I actually got out of bed to answer it after I had decided not to <chuckle> :)
See what I mean? =)
